I was automatically drawn to private schools (Campbell specifically) because I was not interested in any of the public schools in North Carolina. If you want to go to a private school, here are some points to ponder:

The student body is usually smaller at private colleges, which means it may be easier to make friends and connect with faculty.

Some private schools are faith-based; if religion is important to you, find a school with a mission that mirrors your beliefs.

Before you submit an enrollment deposit, I hope that you take a moment to consider these factors and do some deeper research. If you have any questions for me about what it's like attending Campbell or a private school in general, please shoot me a comment!
